4. Ruined lives
Sara ,   Israel   (03.13.09)
He's ruined so many other peoples' lives and he probably gave most of the money to his family members. As for prison: he'll probably get a fancy suite with all kinds of luxuries.
5. Bernard Madoff and the billions he stole
Yiannis Kareklas ,   Athens Greece   (03.13.09)
There is no doubt this man is a criminal who has ruined the lives of many people. He should along with his family be stripped of all their assets and cash , all being redistributed to the people he robbed. As a punishment his family should be made redundant from any job or business they hold and left homeless and pennyless with no foodstamps.Let them dwelve in trash cans if they want to eat.

10. Bernie Is A Scientific Phenomenon
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (03.13.09)
A freak of nature is Mr. Madoff.It was previously thought that a man could not become pregnant and bear children but our friend Bernie is a real mother.
11. A note about Madoff's victims
Abe   (03.13.09)
I am not trying to minimize what Madoff did, but it must be pointed out that many of Madoff's victims believed he was secretly, illegally trading their funds for their benefit based on inside-information from the brokerage side of his business. They thought he was making them money by victimizing other investors who were not "in" on the advisory side. For the victims who believed this, they are like thieves calling another thief a thief.
12. I too feel that he deserves stoning but, unfortunately,
Alexa   (03.14.09)
that would not return the losses, nor compensate families whose lives lay in ruins.
13. Just think of all the people Madoff is bringing back to the
Rivkah   (03.14.09)
Lord because now they have nothing else. The riches they had before will stay on earth when they die, but the riches of the Kingdom of God will be eternal.
14. #1, WTF HAVE WE JEWS TO PROVE WE DON'T SUPORT SUCH A CRAP???

15. I am sure there are much bigger thieves than Madoff they are

16. Madoff
Yakov   (03.15.09)
So Madoff goes to jail. Even so, he has so much publicity-in spite of being famous in a very bad way. Even if they don't find anything with the rest of the family, I only wonder if the family will find a place in the Jewish community. As for Madoff himself, I don't know if even Aleph will take him.
17. 16 Yakov: Aleph would take him for money since that is

what she wanted from Katsav. Who knows? Maybe she earned it and should have been paid.
18. Madoff soon allowed to move to his Tel Aviv villa to spent
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (03.15.09)
his sotolen money in Israel with Israeli zionist collaborators Certainly he must be pardoned by US President or allowed to pass rest of his life in Tal aviv , that means in a short time you will hear madoff was deadly ill and left only a few months of life Would you refuse last wishes of dying cheater? No he will be allowed to go to Israelw, then somehow he will recover from ilness and will live longer then his victims. Jews abroad know they donated the money to Zionism via Madoff and will became silent a little while later. Good End?
19. Madoff's family should not be allowed to flee to Israel
Barry ,   London   (06.30.09)
There is no way that he acted alone in this, and I hope the state of Israel is not stupid enough to allow them to move to Israel. I think the shame he has bought on his community needs to be contained. They need to face the music where they are - this is a horrible crime. A plague upon all their houses.
